Seattle finally has a sunny day streak, so I decided it would be a good time to
wash Frosch.
Last week I learned the water pump was going south, so am waiting on parts or
cash to accumulate to be able to do that task. I do have a few bits of top
seals to install to keep the cabin a bit dryer.
You may. Very fascinating and interesting place. Google Kangerlussuaq
(Sondrestrom), Greenland, and read lotsa stuff about it. Many other
interesting places all around Greenland, too. Nuuk, for example is capital
on west coast; pop. about 15k, I think. Air Greenland operated 2 or 3
flights
I think I just put a mark on the bolts when I did it on a OM602.

Hi all,
It's one project after anotherstill working in gathering parts to

slight crack and I was considering getting a replacement. I have Haynes

in sparse woods west of The Soo, MI, and suddenly came upon a LARGE clear

Some of you were interested the last time I talked about snowmobiles so I
thought I might give you an update on today.
Thursday/Friday we got a solid 6-8" of snow so I figured today I'd get out and
ride. We usually don't get any riding in March so this is a gift. I took the

Would love to. Maybe, expanded to include "Starting a 240D on a 5-degree

But, of course, all I ever did to mine (240D, that is) was wait for "wait
light out" and all it took was just a touch of starter switch.

My brother had a 124. He was able to fund his mechanics retirement on that

If you do go that way, ignore the desire to get a really old classic soft top,
and go with the 560SL. Parts are cheap still, not being superseded and making
your classic less classic with each repair. Wheels are 15" and you will be
more likely to find rubber that fits. The one minus is that

Wouldn't that be a bad chain tensioner letting the chain flop? Might be

Right.
When people take stereotypes formed in the 1970s and 1980s and apply them to
cars built today, it's pretty silly. Every time somebody says Toyota = Reliable
but Ford = Rubbish, I want to laugh in their face.

Thanks, Curt. Needed that info on the Fiesta. Fiesta has interference
engine and timing belt, but Ford says it only needs to be changed every 150K
versus 60K to 100K for grand daughters Honda Accord. I can live with that.
Some Focus models/years have chains; some have belts.

So, does Trent drive German cars? If so that's a plus on his side.

Too right Gerry, I'm surprised by this attitude especially from Randy who keeps
cars long term. I think too many people buy a car they've been told is "good"
as opposed to one they like.
There was definitely an attitude from the '70s through the '90s that American
cars were junk which in the '7
